Stump Grinding in Aylesford

Stump grinding refers to the process where the stump of a tree that has been previously felled is taken out. Usually after trees are felled a few inches of the trunk and the root structure are left behind in the soil, making the adjacent space impractical to use together with potentially attracting insect pests or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your garden has stumps in the soil, extracting them could open up the space, presenting you with more space which could be used to grow your lawn or create fresh spaces to fit patio or decking. Expert stump grinding firms can remove stumps of any proportion. The method typically comprises slicing the stump as low to the ground as possible working with a chainsaw, and afterwards utilising specialist stump grinding machinery to grind away the stump. Stumps are ground down to approximately 10-12 inches below the ground surface to permit replanting, although sometimes landscaping projects might need the stump to be ground deeper than this. The wood chippings that are generated by the stump grinding could be either infilled back into the hole and used as mulch in other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company may remove it and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner. Additionally, many specialist stump grinding companies provide specialist small machines that may be employed if there is restricted access to your garden for example, via a side passageway.
